DIY Floral Vase

This was a quick and fun little project, a frosted flower vase.  You see them all over, home decor shops and especially on Pinterest.  This is a variation on the rubber band method you may have seen.

 
It was so easy.  I have a few of these cylinder flower vases around and they look pretty old and stained so I was happy to give them a bit of a pick-me-up.

 
I picked up some cheap stickers at the store and chose a simple flower.



                                  I arranged the stickers on the vase in an assymetrical pattern then sprayed it with Rust-Oleums Frosted Glass spray paint.  I love this stuff, I have used it on actual windows that needed just a bit of privacy.  It's easy to apply and dries quickly.  This project took a grand total of 15 min. from beginning to end.  I sprayed a couple of coats, let it dry for 10 then using an exacto knife, peeled off the stickers.  It's so cute and just like the ones you find in home decor stores only you can do it for pennies!

For the second one, I had this piece of lace with a swirly flower and wanted to see how that would work.  I just wanted to create a band of design so I covered up the rest of the vase to prevent overspray. 

 
It turned out cute as well!  Easy.  Think of the fun designs you can do with this technique.  Using Christmas stickers as the 'stencil' you could create a holiday jar and fill with candy and treats to use as a neighbor gift.  This Frosted Glass spray could even be applied to the underside of a glass plate for a nice presentation of goodies.

 
If you decide to try it, post your finished project over on my Facebook Page so we can all see your talent!  Happy crafting!
